The one you linked to looks nice, out of stock though and I would want to read some reviews when buying a reproduction of a +£3k chair. They might use crappy leather etc. Have you checked out Made.com ? They can have some interesting furniture.</p>
<p>some reviews!</p>

<p>From the Etsy site I have learnt what a queening chair is <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_confused.gif" title=":?" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_biggrin.gif" title=":D" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p>
<p>some interesting stuff on Eclectic chair site but nowt to change my mind.</p>

Sat, 23 Nov 2013 19:30:15 +0000seavers5539619@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>Barcelona chair is a good call, you get could a chair and ottoman for your budget. I really like Days Forum and Knoll arm chairs but for guitar playing arms are probably going to get in the way.</p>
<p>Edit: If you fancy something different you could check out Etsy or if you are anywhere near Leeds Eclectic Chair. The latter is really hit and miss but worth keeping an eye on, they have some gems.

<p>Be interested to see what else people suggest!

<p>For a very, very long time I have fancied an Eames armchair and finally I have somewhere to put one, but here's the rub, I have never actually sat in one, so are they any good is there anything better out there. I know they were built by several manufactures and I will end up with a reproduction anyway and they look to be around £400 - £500 for the ones I have seen.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.vertigo-interiors.co.uk/shop/i-234-197-classic-eames-style-lounge-chair-and-ottoman--walnut-and-black-leather/">like this one</a></p>
<p>So any advice ?
